Ah, of course, I hadn't thought of trying recursion. I got an evil hack
working just now, using select="//*" and substring($var,position(),1) --
really nasty :-)
Thanks very much for the reference.
Regards,
Steven

Subject: RE: [xsl] for i = 1 to 10, or while (is there an equivalent?)
Hi,
I'm probably going about this the wrong way, but I have a C string in
a variable that I want to escape the backslashes and double-quotes
prior to output. ie. foo\bar"xxx -> foo\\bar\"xxx I figured I could
use the XPath contain and substring functions to do what I want, but I
can't find a way to iterate until there are no more characters of
interest. Can this be done in XSL/XPath?
Recursion.
FAQ has an entry about this

Cheers,
Jarno
